Christian's story about Rusden Christine's Vineyard Grenache:

"Growing up as a kid, I remember this as my Mum’s favourite block. It was the acre of vines she always saved for last. So, being special to her, it was the block I first started making into wine. My favourite wines come from Grenache grown on sandy soils the world over. Christine’s Vineyard lies in the heart of the deep Vine Vale sand resulting in a wine that is typically very aromatic, lifted and spicy and having been traditionally made is a very pure expression of the variety. It is the work horse of our region just like Mum’s generation of determined and resilient grape growers."

Tasting Note: Brilliant cherry red colour with a gorgeous nose brimming with elegance.  Crunchy red berries, lavender, spice all here on the nose. The palate falls right into medium bodied territory with musk, cherries, thyme, mint, baking spice all playing their role. A charming wine with beautifully integrated oak and a long spicy finish. Classic Vine Vale Grenache!
